I did this one time too. I saw a Jordan refractor selling for super cheap. Did really look at the pic or read the description. I ended up winning the auction for $35 dollars. What I failed to notice is that the card was severly damaged. The card was accidently seeled into the package so the card itself had mark the width of the card that looked like the edge of a wrapper....wasnt happy but was my own fault.

I bought a Mychal Thompson 2001 Fleer Greats of the Game auto for $17dlvd. I lost a bid on a previous card that went for about the same price, with free shipping... so I hurried & clicked on the "buy now" price on the card I bought.

There is no write-up/description on the listing. The seller did not mention that the bottom left corner is severely dinged. Looks like the card was dropped. It is not noticeable in the picture. Nor does the ebay listing let you enlarge the picture for better review. I assumed that the card would be flawless.... but after opening the bubblemailer & looking at the card. The bent corner is very noticeable.

I emailed the seller telling him to put the actual description of the card in the write-up if there are flaws on his future listings... It sucks, waiting all that time to receive the card & then find out it is ruined.

I would of not bought the card if I knew about the dent. Even though this is a hard to find card.. it was not worth the $17 I spent...

I have pulled a few cards with the wrapper marks before. It really gets me when A) The card would have been valuable and/or B) I want it for my PC.

Actually, I give them away when I donate cards to a cause. What's a couple "wrapper-marked" cards in a lot of 300 when you give them away for free? And someone will be really pleased when "pulling" a sweet and free single, no matter the condition.
